ANTLER IN THE NORDICS
We BACK FEW. We MOVE FAST.
Antler backs the Nordics' most ambitious founders. Your first VC, from day zero through Series C.
Daily sparring with partners, $4M+ in perks, free desk space, and a community of founders building at your pace.
Build with outliers
Build alongside exceptional founders in our four Nordic hubs — Stockholm, Oslo, Copenhagen, and Helsinki. Free office space and daily sparring with partners who've built companies themselves.
Unfair access
$4M+ in startup infrastructure perks, plus direct access to a global network of operators, advisors, and investors — with hands-on support from people who've built and scaled before you.
Raise faster
70% of Antler's European portfolio companies raise further capital within 12 months. You'll have the resources, warm intros, and downstream capital to do the same.
Go the distance
From day zero through Series C, we keep investing, keep sparring, keep opening doors. Not a one-time cheque — we've got the capital to keep backing you, and we stay close long after the first investment.
We commit €500K - €1M
We back you early. We stay with you through Series C.
€500K is our standard deal — €200K upfront plus up to €300K follow-on in your next round.
Further along, or raising bigger? Reach out and convince us.
Build faster with $4M+ in perks
Everything you need to build. Cloud, compute, AI, and infrastructure — available the moment we invest.
MEET THE ANTLER NORDICS TEAM
The team has built and sold companies across the Nordics, invested at every stage from pre-seed to IPO, and led operations inside startups and scale-ups. We know what the journey looks like because we've done it.
MEET OUR FOUNDERS
‘Tangled’에 투자한 이유: 코드 협업의 미래를 탈중앙화하다
아니루드와 악샤이는 대담한 아이디어를 품고 앤틀러(Antler)에 합류했습니다. 바로 탈중앙화 프로토콜을 기반으로 코드 협업 시스템을 완전히 새롭게 구축하겠다는 것이었습니다. 불과 몇 달 만에 이들은 해커 뉴스(Hacker News)의 메인 화면에 오르며 자연스럽게 7,000명 이상의 사용자를 확보했고, byFounders가 주도하고 베인 캐피털 크립토(Bain Capital Crypto)와 전 GitHub CEO 토마스 돔케(Thomas Dohmke)가 투자한 380만 유로 규모의 시드 라운드를 성공적으로 마감했습니다.

Homie에 투자한 이유: 신뢰를 주요 판매 채널로 전환하기
마르쿠, 칼레, 알렉시는 SaaS 분야에서 탄탄한 경험을 바탕으로 ‘따뜻한 소개(warm introductions)’가 가장 강력한 영업 채널이지만, 확장성이 전혀 없다는 명확한 가설을 세우고 앤틀러(Antler)에 합류했습니다. 이들은 슈퍼메트릭스(Supermetrics)와 원플로우(Oneflow)를 포함한 250개 이상의 기업을 대상으로 서비스를 구축하고 검증한 끝에, 대부분의 팀이 피치 데크를 완성하기도 전에 100만 유로 규모의 프리시드(pre-seed) 투자 라운드를 성사시켰습니다.

자주 묻는 질문 —자주 질문
Outliers. Founders already building. Solo operators obsessed with a specific problem. People who've done it before, and people doing it for the first time, but moving like they've been doing it for years.
Already shipping and have customers? Even better — we can help you move a lot faster.
What we care about is drive — the kind that actually ships, not the kind that talks. You don't need a co-founder, an incorporated company, or a finished product. You need to be all in.
We back exceptional founders early — €500K–€1M, with capital to stay with you through Series C.
Our standard deal: €500,000
Most founders come in on this. Here's how it works.
€200K upfront when we invest:
- €100K for 8.5% equity
- €100K on an uncapped convertible (with MFN)
Up to €300K in your next round:
- One-third of what you raise from professional investors
- Same terms as your lead
- Within nine months of our first investment
Example: if you raise €600K, we invest another €300K on the same terms — €900K total.
Beyond €500K
We can keep backing you through Series C.
Further along, or raising bigger?
Reach out and convince us. For the right outlier, we always want to see what we can do.
Tomorrow. We bring founders in as they come. We move fast — whether it's a yes or a no.
You can build from any of our four Nordic hubs: Stockholm, Oslo, Copenhagen, or Helsinki. Pick the one closest to your customers, your talent, or your home. The team, the terms, and the community are the same across all four.
Neither. Antler is an inception-stage VC. We invest early and stay with you through Series C. No course, no curriculum, no graduation. Just capital, sparring, and a network — for as long as you need it.
That often makes us the first call when it really matters: when co-founder dynamics get complicated, when you're heading into a fundraise and need a sharp second pair of eyes, when you need warm intros to customers. We are on your side through ups and downs — and we know both you and your business.
Practically, you get:
- Fundraising that moves the needle — round strategy, investor targeting, warm intros, pitch prep for Series A and beyond
- A network with real utility — 1,500+ Antler companies globally, for first customers, hires, and investor backchannels
- Global reach when you need it — GTM support in Asia, growth capital intros in the US, a deep tech peer in Australia
- Capital that scales with you — from day zero through Series C
- Office space in our Nordic hubs for as long as it's useful
- Credits and perks across cloud, compute, AI, and tooling (see perks →)
We also run high-leverage moments when they matter — a week in San Francisco meeting top-tier Series A investors, a retreat in Oxford that ends with most of Europe's VC capital in the room.
Most founders come to us before they've raised anything, but with a team and an early product. That's our sweet spot, but it's not the only place we work.
Solo founder? We can help you find the right co-founder or team — or maybe even invest as you are.
Already have an MVP or early customers? Even better — we can help you move even faster towards your seed round. Most teams we bring in are at this stage.
If you have (or are closing) a priced pre-seed at a materially higher valuation, you might be past us — but talk to us anyway.
We are industry agnostic. We invest in scalable companies and exceptional people. However, we do not invest in the following areas: drugs, narcotics, adult entertainment, and gambling.
